At a court hearing Friday, former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary said he witnessed sexual abuse between Jerry Sandusky and a minor in the university locker room and that he told head coach Joe Paterno. McQueary has given different accounts of the incident, but said Friday that he saw Sandusky behind the boy, who was 10 to 12 years old, with his hands around his waist. McQueary said he could not see Sandusky’s genitals, but that “it was very clear that it looked like there was intercourse going on." He added that he had never described what he saw as anal intercourse, and did not tell Paterno explicit details.
